Ministry of Emergency Situations about what is important for children and parents to remember in the new school year

The summer holidays have come to an end, and schoolchildren have already returned to classes. This is the time when parents should once again review the basic safety rules with their children.

What you need to remind your child:

· Emergency numbers – 101, 102, 103, 112. The child must know them by heart.

· Fire safety rules – do not play with matches and lighters, do not leave switched on electrical appliances unattended, do not overload sockets.

· Rules of behavior in case of fire – do not hide, but immediately leave the premises and call rescuers.

· Rules for safe behavior on water bodies – do not swim in unequipped places, do not swim behind buoys, do not enter the water without adult supervision.

· Careful handling of electrical appliances – do not plug several powerful devices into one outlet, do not leave chargers in outlets without a phone.

It is also worth checking the presence and functionality of the autonomous fire detector in the apartment. This small device is able to warn in time about smoke with a loud sound signal and give precious time for evacuation.

Safety is not a seasonal topic

The work of rescuers does not end with the last day of summer. It continues every day, because the life and health of citizens is the main value.
